Verifying the setup for FC-FC routing
Before configuring a fabric to connect to another fabric, you must perform the following verification
checks on the FC router.
1. Log in to the switch or backbone as admin and enter the version command. Verify that
Fabric OS v7.2.0 or later is installed on the FC router, as shown in the following example.
switch:admin> version
Kernel: 2.6.14.2
Fabric OS: v7.2.0
Made on: Fri Nov 18 01:15:34 2011
Flash: Mon Nov 21 20:53:48 2011
BootProm: 1.0.9
2. If you are configuring a backbone, enter the slotShow command to verify that an FX8-24 blade
is present or an 8-Gbps or 16-Gbps port blade is present. The following example shows slots 1,
2, 3, 4, 9, 10, and 12 with 8-Gbps port blades enabled.
switch:admin> slotshow -m
Slot Blade Type ID Model Name Status

10 SW BLADE 55 FC8-32 ENABLED
11 UNKNOWN VACANT
12 SW BLADE 51 FC8-48 ENABLED
Refer to Chapter 3, “Performing Advanced Configuration Tasks,” for a list of blades and their
corresponding IDs.
3. Enter the licenseShow command to verify that the Integrated Routing license is installed.

Integrated Routing license
If you are connecting to a Fabric OS or M-EOS fabric and the Integrated Routing license is not
installed, you must install it, as described in Chapter 21, “Administering Licensing”. The
Integrated Routing license is not required if you are connecting to a Brocade Network OS fabric.
For configuring EX_Ports on an ICL, both the Integrated Routing license and the ICL POD license
are required.
